I IMPROVEMENT IN VEHICLE-SPRINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,060, dated July 27, 1875; application filed June 21, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CORNELIUS BAUER, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Vehicle-Spring, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a perspective view of my compound spring for vehicles. Fig.2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a section at the line 1 1; and Fig. 4 represents, by elevation and horizontal section, a modified arrangement for coupling the side bars to the ends of the semi-elliptic springs.

A may representany desired Wagon or buggy body. B B are two side spring-bars, having lugs b, by which to bolt them to the body, and a stili'ening-piece, b, at their middle portions.

These bars terminate in coiled extremities C, which are bolted to the ends of semi-elliptics D D.

In the modification of my invention, as shown in Fig. 4, the coiled extremity C of the stifiened side bar B b is represented as furnished with an eye, 0, for the reception of a screw-threaded shank, d, thelatter beingforged upon the end of semi-elliptic spring D.

E is a nut, wherewith the side bar B is attached to its supporting-spring D.

I claim as my invention- The vehicle-spring B B, having lugs b b, stiffening-pieces b b, and coiled extremities C C, in combination with the semi-elliptic springs D D, as set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.

CORNELIUS BAUER.
